Please find details contained in the Place Based Working Noticeboard we have received for Ashbrow, Crosland Moor & Netherton, Dalton, Newsome, Greenhead and Almondbury wards in Kirklees.
Any questions, bookings or requests for further information should be directed towards the organisation concerned and not to this email.
If you would like to get involved in the up and coming ward partnership meetings please email placebasedworking@kirklees.gov.uk so they can send you an invite.
The meetings are a great place to meet likeminded folk in order to share all the great things happening in the ward as well as helping partners and Councillors to co-ordinate what’s happening locally. They also provide an opportunity for partners to problem solve on shared priorities and identify funding/resources to put in place community activities to meet local needs.
